CVS Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the CVS Pharmacy closed its doors, a little boy would appear in front of the store. Every time he approached, the automatic doors would open on their own, as if beckoning him inside. One night, an exhausted delivery driver stopped by for some late-night snacks. As he entered, the boy smiled and said, 'Need any help finding your way out?' The driver laughed and replied, ‘Thanks, kid, but I can manage.’ Then, just as the doors closed behind him, they opened again with a gentle chime—right into the arms of a concerned pharmacist who asked, ‘Are you lost?’

2. At closing time, a small dog would dash into the CVS Pharmacy and race towards the candy aisle, always stopping just before the counter. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, asking if he could buy some candies for his grandchildren. The pharmacist smiled and said, 'Just one moment,' then followed the usual routine—opening the back door wide. Out bounded the little dog, racing past the candies and out the front door again, leaving everyone laughing as it ran off into the sunset.

3. One foggy morning, a voice crackled over CVS Pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Attention, customers—we’ve run out of patience.’ Since then, locals joke that only impatience is stocked here. A delivery driver once complained, 'Why does everything take so long?' The intercom replied, 'Because we're running low on boxes.' Finally, an elderly neighbor whispered to his grandkid, 'See? This place has always been like this—just slower.'

4. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still shuttered, an old man in a tweed suit would emerge from behind the CVS Pharmacy's dumpster. He’d rummage through the bins for discarded samples and packets of aspirin, stuffing them into his canvas bag. One morning, a delivery driver asked him what he was doing. ‘Just gathering nature’s gifts,’ replied the old man with a twinkle. As the sun rose higher, neighbors began waving and smiling at their friendly early-morning gatherer, turning the once-suspicious figure into CVS’s unofficial morning mascot.
